Neuroinflammation at the Dorsolateral Inferior Medulla: A Possible Central Nervous System Localization for POTS and Long COVID.
The commentary by Svetlana Blitshteyn explores the link between neuroinflammation in the dorsolateral inferior medulla and conditions like POTS and Long COVID. Both are seen as multifaceted disorders with complex mechanisms. There's a specific focus on neuroinflammation in the brainstem as a potential trigger. This localization, although needing further research, is suggested by existing literature and symptoms observed in these conditions. Blitshteyn calls for more advanced neuroimaging studies and animal model research to explore this potential mechanism further.
